Relationship of Passive Range of Motion (ROM) Exercise with Upper Extremity Muscle Strength in Non-Hemorrhagic Stroke Patients

Abstract

Non-hemorrhagic stroke is a disorder caused by ischemia, thrombosis, embolism and narrowing of the lumen. One of the impacts that occurs in stroke patients is experiencing weakness on one side of the body affected by the stroke. This weakness can cause imbalance and difficulty when walking due to problems with muscle strength, balance and movement coordination. Complications due to immobilization can be prevented and further disability can be avoided, one of these interventions is Range of Motion (ROM) range of motion exercises. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between passive ROM training and upper extremity muscle strength in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients in the neurology ward at RSUD. Dr. Pirngadi Medan. This type of research is a correlation with a cross sectional approach with a sample size of 18 respondents. The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between passive ROM exercises and upper extremity muscle strength in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients in the neurology inpatient ward at RSUD. Dr. Pirngadi Medan. This type of research is a correlation with a cross sectional approach with a sample of 18 respondents. The research results showed that the muscle strength of respondents in the neurology inpatient room increased by 16 people (88.9%). Passive ROM exercises were carried out by 16 people (88.9%). Obtaining a value of p=0.000 (α=0.05) with a comparison of p<0.05, it can be decided that Ha failed to be rejected, which means there is a relationship between passive range of motion (ROM) training and upper extremity muscle strength in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients in the room. Neurology inpatient hospital. Dr. Pirngadi Medan. It is hoped that nurses can increase ROM exercises more intensively in stroke patients in order to increase the patient's muscle strength, both hand muscles and leg muscles. Using standard operating procedures for special treatment using ROM so that the results obtained can be maximal and uniform for all muscle strength problems.
